Well, not quite first flight..... but it is since the aircraft returned to NZ earlier this year. Ex RNZAF Strikemaster NZ6370, now registered ZK-STR, took to the skies of Ardmore for the first time on 20 April concluding a longer than anticipated rebuild ex shipping from Australia which included an unexpected engine change. Absolutely awesome to see this warbird back in our skies!! Congratulations to everyone involved in this project.
